Get to know your Emergency Kit

Your Emergency Kit is a safety net for accessing your account.

Your Emergency Kit is a PDF document with your account details and a place to write your Master Password. If you fill out your Emergency Kit and store it safely, it will allow you to access your 1Password account if you can’t sign in.

Get your Emergency Kit

1Password asks you to save your Emergency Kit when you create an account. Check your Downloads folder to see if you already have yours. You can get another copy of your Emergency Kit in some of the 1Password apps, or by signing in to your account on 1Password.com.

Save it to your personal cloud storage, so you always have a digital copy available.

Give a copy to someone you trust, like your spouse or someone in your will.

Should I write down my Master Password?

Consider what would happen if you ever forgot it or how a loved one would access your account in an emergency. If you don’t write it down, it’s still important to keep a copy of your Emergency Kit, so you don’t lose your Secret Key.
